Frog Share Spanish Armada Var XV
I continue to be impressed by the wayward wanderings of Frog and their consistent stretching of their song. After releasing a nod to a lovelorn Dracula, they’re back with another bit of storytelling, this time centered around the Spanish Armada. With all the historical references one would be likely to compare the group to early Decemberists, though I think the way the song structures work here, the group’s music feels much more grounded in a kind of garage jam. The sound of the drums and the falsetto-stretched vocals just offer a sort of sonic push into a band that continues to just play out what feels right in their own world. there’s nothing quite like Frog. This glimpse into the Count is another reason to keep the forthcoming LP on your radar; they drop the album on September 19th.
